Re: using mac for softsynths only - audio interface needed?

Yes, that's fine.  The only problem with the built-in audio is that 
there can be a bit of system noise...HOWEVER.. that noise is lower 
than the scanning noise emanating from the audio output of an actual 
Prophet 5 or Oberheim OB-8, and certainly quieter than the noise 
level of a DX-7, or Tr-808, etc...
